Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Sweet Potatoes preferably long and skinny, sliced into 1/2" rounds
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil divided
  • 12 large Eggs
  • 2 cups Low Fat Cottage Cheese + optional honey drizzle
  • 1 large Avocado diced

For the Turkey Breakfast Sausage

  • 2 pounds Ground Turkey
  • 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1/2 cup 120g Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup 120g Chicken Broth or Water

Instructions

  • Roast the sweet potatoes. Toss the sliced potatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil together on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Arrange in an even layer and bake for 40-45 minutes at 450ºF on the bottom rack of your oven. The potatoes should be caramelized and nicely browned on the bottoms. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes fresh out of the oven.
  • Prep the breakfast sausage seasoning and eggs. Mix the sausage spices, maple syrup, and broth together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together. Set both aside until the final 15 minutes of roasting the potatoes.
  • Cook the breakfast sausage. Brown the turkey in 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking. Add the seasoning mixture to the cooked turkey and cook for 2-3 minutes until very little liquid remains.
  • Scramble the eggs in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the breakfast bowls. For 6 servings, each bowl gets about 4 oz of sausage crumbles, 9 sweet potato slices, 3 oz of eggs, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, and 1/6th of an avocado.

Notes

To save time, swap the homemade breakfast sausage crumbles for reduced fat pork sausage, pre-made turkey sausage crumbles, or other proteins.

Reheating Tips

  • For crispy reheated potatoes, pop them in the air fryer on their own for 6-8 minutes at 350ºF.
  • If you prefer fried eggs or want to avoid reheated scrambled eggs, make/store the turkey and sweet potatoes on their own and serve with freshly cooked eggs.
